History

Madikeri TMC was upgraded to CMC in 2007. After the upgradation, the number of wards were increased to 31. Questioning the increase in wards, P P Chami had filed a writ petition in the High Court, on March 24, 2008. During the proceedings, the court directed the state government to suspend the order on 31 wards. As the elected representatives were elected for 31 wards, the court had directed to maintain status quo and asked the government to restructure wards for the next election.
